Weather Radio

Wind and rain decide whether a fishing trip is worth taking, whether the sandstorm you wanted to farm is running, and whether anything wind driven will work. The point of this is knowing without walking all the way up. Deep in the caverns you can see a rain start and go up for it, or see it stop and stay down.

Sandstorms get flagged directly, alternating with the normal readout. Other events do not register at all, so a Slime Rain will come and go without any hint from it.

It comes out of the quest reward pool, so it is luck. The Angler will not hand you a second while you already have one anywhere on your person, storage and other loadouts included. That restriction lifts once you own the complete set of fishing and informational rewards, at which point duplicates start showing up again. And if you are missing a different informational accessory, Shimmer converts this into it instead of making you grind more quests.
